what to Expect
THE PLAN!
Mornings are spent skinning uphill in small groups, with routes chosen to suit the weather, snow conditions and the group’s level. Expect a steady pace, regular breaks and plenty of time to enjoy the descents. Picnics are taken somewhere with a view.
Afternoons are slower. Come back to something good to eat, then rest, stretch or have a little wonder in town (loads of spa options in town + massages eheh) There’s also time to yourself if you’d like a quiet moment.
Most evenings are spent around the dinner table, sharing a homemade meal and swapping stories from the day. One evening, we’ll head out into Chamonix for dinner and a drink, so you can see the town the way locals do.
You’ll be skiing and living alongside a small group of like-minded mountain lovers. Everyone is there for the same reasons, so it’s easy to feel at home quickly.

WHO IS THIS CAMP FOR?
For anyone curious to explore a little further, spend more time in the mountains and build their confidence in ski touring.
Maybe you've already been on a few ski tours and want to keep learning. Or maybe you're completely new to touring and looking for a good place to start.
Either way, this is a beginner-friendly ski touring camp, but not a beginner skiing camp!
You should be comfortable hiking uphill for a few hours, confident skiing off-piste in a variety of snow conditions, and already know how to use your avalanche safety equipment (transceiver, shovel and probe).
You don't need to be an expert ski tourer, but previous off-piste skiing experience is essential.

We have three twin bedrooms, which you’ll share either with a friend or with another guest we will pair you with.
